Målet med studien var att låta tre autonoma ungdomsorganisationer (Megafonen, Pantrarna samt Rörelsen Gatans Röst och Ansikte) komma till tals angående sina verksamheter. Organisationerna är etablerade i svenska förorter och arbetar för att höja förortens status och att engagera ungdomar i det som påverkar deras liv och närområde. Frågeställningarna löd: Hur kan organisationernas verksamhet och dess mål beskrivas? På vilket sätt kan organisationernas verksamhet tolkas som socialt arbete? Genom intervjuer med de aktuella organisationerna samt dokumentanalys av nyhetsartiklar och hemsidematerial som organisationerna medverkat i eller själva producerat ville vi ta del av och framföra organisationernas egna röster. Genom teorin om empowerment samt begreppet claims-making fördjupades förståelsen för och förklaringen till organisationernas arbete och de sociala problem organisationerna framhåller.

Abstrakt Social Engineering är konsten att manipulera människor, för att på så sätt vinna deras förtroende. Med hjälp av detta förtroende kan attackeraren sedan kringgå säkerhetssystem och få tillgång till organisationers information. Vi har i denna uppsats genomfört elva intervjuer på tre stora organisationer med både IT-chefer och övrig personal. Med dessa intervjuer har vi sedan försökt få en bild av hur medvetenheten ser ut samt vilka åtgärder organisationerna tar för att förhindra Social Engineering. Med denna uppsats vill vi belysa den ovisshet som råder kring Social Engineering, men även farorna och hur effektiv en attack av denna typ kan vara.
